Aggies Ranked Ninth in Collegiate Baseball Preseason Poll
OTHER NEWS: Aggies Ranked Fifth Nationally in Attendance in 2008
Dec. 22, 2008
TUCSON, Ariz. - The back-to-back Big 12 champion Texas A&M baseball team earned a No. 9 ranking in the Collegiate Baseball Fab 40 preseason poll, the publication announced Monday. The Aggies, who received 473 points, are the highest rated Big 12 team in the poll. LSU tops the rankings, followed by North Carolina, Rice, Georgia and Stanford. Arizona State sits at No. 6, with Florida State, Louisville, A&M and Texas rounding out the top 10. The No. 9 ranking is the highest for A&M in the poll's preseason edition in 15 years, when the 1994 squad opened at No. 7. Five Big 12 teams were ranked in the top 25. Joining the Aggies and Longhorns were No. 14 Oklahoma State, No. 15 Baylor and No. 22 Missouri. Four opponents on A&M's non-conference slate appeared in the poll, including the third-ranked Owls, No. 13 Cal State Fullerton, No. 20 UC Irvine and No. 37 TCU. The Aggies are scheduled to play 17 games in 2009 against teams that appear in the Fab 40. Defending national champion Fresno State was ranked 16th. Texas A&M returns 14 letterwinners, four position starters and nine pitchers from a 2008 squad that won the Big 12 regular-season title and the NCAA College Station Regional championship. Season tickets are available now by logging on to aggieathletics.com or by calling 888-99-AGGIE. The '09 opener is set for February 20 at Olsen Field against Wright State.
